Metaphorically, I am either having a break down, a melt down, or the doors of perception are being blown open. I will not attempt to try to explain my feeling. what is happening is that I may just start to laugh with great abandon. Remember in My Fair Lady when Eliza starts to sing: "I've got it... I really got it."?
Well

This month nothing appeared to work for me, whether it was AT&T, Amazon, and especially my computer. I was in Technical Hell.
I completed a beautiful "Love Letter" a week before its due date. I was so delighted. Then... I discarded it. I do not know how.
I chose to relax and breathe, and wrote another one. I was so proud of myself for my calmness etc. I was choosing "this" instead of@%$%^. I was in charge and I was choosing peace. I was really pleased with this letter....it just flowed, and so was I.
Are you willing to guess what happened? I deleted that one also.
The
result: I flew into a self- deprecating rage. I was
so frustrated. The theme of my self abuse was:
What is the problem with you? What is wrong with
you?
The very fact that I believe that there is something wrong with me is the problem. My problem is as simple as that. This is what I experienced as I looked at "What is my Problem?"
I had a vision: I was in the woods. I was an archer. I was also "Me" tied to a tree. Me as the archer was shooting the poison arrows of self hatred at Me the victim....they were the arrows of my own self contempt.
I decided to make a definitive list to answer: What is wrong with you?
I was very deliberate. I read my list and I saw how unaccepting and unloving I was of myself.
I suggest that you take the time to do this. Be honest with yourself. It is merciful to accept all of who you are without the voice of the ego.
What I found after writing the list is:
The only thing that is wrong with me is that I judge these things to be wrong with me and that is my problem. This is the bottom line. The recreation of childhood hurts keep happening again and again because I/we have not solved THE PROBLEM. I would continue to delete the "love Letter" until I solved the problem of my negative thinking.This was an AHA! experience.
What finally happened is I stopped and asked myself the question: What would manifest differently if I had a different thought?`.
What thought would create a different experience?
I
tuned in and I heard.....Would you be willing to choose your trust in
I heard the voice say that "fear is the antithesis of love., and that fear insists on your believing that you are inadequate. I know this with my mind.....I also know that my mind is creating my experience. That is the problem, and I have just begun to see the depth of this problematic thinking.
I
breathe in very deeply...... I ask to feel in every cell in my body the
sense of my
I breathe out very deeply....I ask to release the stress and the forcing current of the ego's teachings.
DO THIS FOR ABOUT TEN TIMES....IN ESSENCE: BREATHING IN LOVE, BREATHING OUT EGO.
Let us do this together.....as we breathe together and open
our hearts to ourselves we will enter into the deliciousness of knowing
who we are, and then we will breathe this love out into the world.
A Course in Miracles says:
" A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what the problem is."
Will you enter through this open door with me?
There
is only one problem and that is that we believe that we are not of
With deep respect for this journey and your commitment,
